"Why the look?" Padd grinned. "I for one think you're improving."

"Improving how?" Renfield inquired as he stood up, dusting off his business suit, offering a hand to help Padd up.

"Well, your actions regarding the safety of a superior officer for one," Padd answered, accepting Renfields' hand. "There are few Stormtoads I now with the balls to think of their superiors in an ambush."

Renfield smiled, pulling Padd to her feet. "Living among the mammals has helped me realize I have a backbone," he said.

Padd just nodded once.
"By the way, when we meet up tomorrow for the journey to Orwell, look for a shuttle marked Qanta Spaceways. I'll be posing as its' pilot, and I'll make sure nobody else gets on board."

Renfield nodded once. "Yes, Major," he said, but avoided saluting her in case anyone was watching them, and, indeed, by this point a large crowd of onlookers had gathered to gawk at the ruins of the Offices.

Padd had also noticed the gathering crowd, but then turned to Renfield.
"I think we'd better leave now, before anyone asks any embarrasing questions."

Amongst the crowd a young doe squeezed past stunned and upright bodies to get a better view of the flames. Half of her was curious to what had happened... While the other half knew for sure. It was this latter half that was winning her over by seeping it's ichor into her heart.
Vernita tightened the black jumper she had changed into, straightened the fedora over her ears and pushed up the tinted glasses she had acquired on the way. She pushed deeper into the crowd without so much as a word until she could spot those responsible for the destruction in the distance. She covertly attempted to catch Renfield's line of sight, prepared to give a gentle 'nod' of acknowledgment...

"Good idea," Renfield said, then turned to the crowd of onlookers after making sure he still had his ID badge clipped to his lapel. "All right folks," he said, holding his hands up to get everyone's attention, "nothing to see here. Move along, you'll only get in the way of the rescue workers and arson investigators."
It was then that he noticed Vernita and locked eyes with her, then he glanced over at Major Padd as the crowd slowly, reluctantly dispersed.

Padd briefly disappeared herself into the shadows to change her disguise. With the office block destroyed, her janitor disguise died with the other employees. Disposing of her former disguise by dumping it on some flaming debris, she re-appeared disguised as an .S.P.A.C.E. Major, a hare named Major Padd was perhaps less conspicuous than a Toad, I guess.

As the crowd dispersed and Major Padd retired to switch disguises, Renfield smiled and walked over to Vernita. "Hello," he said, folding his arms behind his back as he stood before her. "Finally decided to come and join us, I see."

Just as Padd emerged from the shadows, a TV News van screeched from around the corner and stopped right behind Vernita, shoving her closer to Renfield. Immediately a dog newsreporter emerged along with the camera crew, as they began to comment on the sudden explosion.

Vernita yelped in surprise, spinning on her feet and stumbling backwards from the near collision. She windmilled her arms to no avail, tipping backwards towards the concrete...

Renfield caught Vernita reflexively as she fell into his arms.

Padd just watched slightly furious at what was going on. If she were Renfield, she would've just left that b*tch to topple over.
"Back so soon, Vernita?" Padd asked as she stepped forward, hissing through her teeth.
